About this series · summary by Osho Live
"Adhyatam Upanishad" is a profound discourse series by Osho exploring the essence of spiritual liberation. Central to these teachings is the radical notion that bondage is self-imposed, and true freedom lies within our grasp, not as something to be achieved, but as the intrinsic nature of our being. Osho challenges conventional perceptions of suffering and attachment by asserting that it is not the ego, the world, or the cycle of births that ensnares us; rather, it is our own persistent clinging and self-indulgence. He invites a paradigm shift from the futile quest to escape suffering, to a deep introspection of the mechanisms by which we hold onto it. Liberation, according to Osho, is not an external acquisition but an inherent state beneath the veils of our attachments. By relinquishing these attachments, we naturally return to our liberated selves. Through this discourse, Osho offers a transformative understanding that redirects the seeker from external pursuits to internal liberation, unveiling the subtle intricacies of the ego and the self within the fabric of existence. His insights encourage a detachment not through resistance, but through awareness and the profound realization of our own complicity in our perceived captivity.

Samadhi dissolves the mind so experience is ungraspable; upon return bliss is inferred, karmas are cut and one's true nature rains down as dharma‑cloud.

Adhyatam Upanishad #13 19 October 1972मूल हिंदी
A jivanmukta sees death as present, lives as a witness beyond the intellect, experiences nonduality and true equanimity; karmic pain endures and cannot be transferred.

Adhyatam Upanishad #14 20 October 1972मूल हिंदी
Mind is a mechanical recorder; samadhi is one but minds translate it. The Self is sky-like—untouched by past or future karma, yet karma still runs.

Adhyatam Upanishad #15 20 October 1972मूल हिंदी

Adhyatam Upanishad #16 21 October 1972मूल हिंदी
Shruti tailors truth: teach the ignorant by arousing a 'yes' and lead the wise to nondual Brahman—ultimate reality cannot be gained or lost; who is it for?
